Something for Foraker to digest.
[Bogton Herald, Ind. Rep

l1oFtOh AtVAatui Ahus AAcP'J
Indications are to the effect that the
Republicans Of the country must ere
long abandon the sectional issue in
politics. We wish they could have
done this ten years ago and have been
moved to such action by a spirit of
patriotism. They have been altogether
unjust to the people of the south dur
ing all that period; they have been false
to their own earlier reputation
for intelligence and liberality; they
have brought the reproach upon the
country for continuing the strifes Of
the war after the Christian eniighten-
ment of the people should have brought
them to close. If the Republican
party had pursued the path of mag
nanimity nobly pointed out by Abra-
ham Lincoln and advised before their
death by every one of the greater men
who were its founders, instead of stoop-
ing to the ignoble work graphically
characterized by Mr.. James G.. Blaine
as seeking to elect Presidents through
the agency of the bloody shirt, it would
have been worthy of its ancient fame in
our day and would have kept itself un-
impaired in reputation as well as intact
in numbers, But 1t declined to take
the statesmanlike and the christianIike
course indicated by its venerated leaders
and it has found defeat and disgrace to
be the result.

The Salt Monopoly.

II there be one virtue more than
another with which the farmers are
gifted that virtue is patience. They
are slow to anger. They have endured
the weight of war taxation for years,
during the war and since the war, with
out murmuring. But at last they have
been touched on the raw. The prOpo-
sition of salt manufacturing firms to
establish Salt Trust, with a view to
securing control of the market for that
indispensable article, has worked the
grangers up. The american Dairy
man, In speaking for the farmers, hits
straight at the mark when 1t says:
1--WE trust Congress will do what 1t
can to neutralize the effect of this last
combination by putting imported salt
on the free list. The duty on salt
amounts to about 25 cents per sack,
which is equivalent to a tax to that eX-
tent upon the salt consumers of this
country, and especially the dairymen,
most of whom prefer to use English
salt, as 1t gives better flavor to their
product. Salt Is essentially a raw ma
terial, and a reduction in the tariff
should first take this direction. Both
Democrats and Republicans can fra
ternize on the common ground of
tightening. as much as possible, the
taxes upon the dairymen of this coun-
try. Meat packers and our fishermen
get a rebate on the foreign salt they
use, equal to the amount of duty
paid; but the farmers have been left to
pay this tax, which they cansbut poorly
afford, and, besides, they are getting
about tired of this discrimination"
The tariff on salt is an inexcusable
tax, but 1t is one of the least of the bur-
dens that have been unnecessarily inn
posed on the farmer. The Irish
entomologist who picked up a wasp in
mistake for a grasshopper was not
quicker to find out what allied him
than the farmers are to understand the
thrust they will get from the Salt
Trust. But if salt should be put on the
free list, as it should be, there would be
an end to the trouble. Philadelphia

sB-A straight hght on the President Of the
United States to elect Governor and Btate
ticket and divert the attention Of the voter
from the shortcomings of the MeSieanized
Legislature, is almost an exact counterpart Of
the practices Of the pick.pocket. nnot to be
construed in this way, 1t leaves but one other
conclusion-a softening Of the brain on the
part Of the bosses, which can not but make
sure the nomination of Cleveland next year,
and about all that will be required thereafter
will be for some one who did not vote for
Cleveland to move that his election be ms Il
unanimous. Perrysburg Jour,erl (Rep)

President CleveIand's Popularity.
IChicaro Times. Ind.1s

The Republicans are just coming
to.n The Cleveland demonstration in
this city the other day knocked 'em
silly.n They never dreamed ofsuch a
thing. They are now telling how II
happened and what it signifies. The
favorite explanation of it is that the
people are at all times eager to see o
President ofthe United States and to
show their respect for his exalted office.
It was not the man, but the Office, that
the people turned out to honor, they
say. But this hardly meets the present
case. Chicago has seen Presidents be-
fore. Grant has been here, Hayes has
been here, and SO has Arthur. No
such crowd as that of Wednesday ever
poured forth to see Grant, and the
presence Of Hayes and Arthur here
drew no unusual crowds. The Cleve-
land demonstration was the biggest OF
the kind ever seen in this city, and
probably the biggest ever seen In, this
country. The Republican organs will
not admit it, but it was largely due to
the personal popularity of the man,
and, among other things, it most posi-
lively '.signifies'' Mr.. Cleveland's over
whelming reelection.

Ben Butterworth's argument for
commercial union with Canada is un-
answerable in a discussion of business
equity between neighbering Govern
Inents. Which Is true as TO the re-
lations which should exist between the
United States and Canada, is also APP
plicable to trade intercourse with Mexi-
co on the south. And an imaginary
dividing land line should not differ
from real dividing water line, sep
arating the United States from all the
countries Of the world. Commercial
union with all countries would pre-
mote business, increase trade, stimu-
late wages, and make the United States
the great commercial nation of the
world. Mr.. Bntterworth claims to be
q protectionist. It matters not what
such as he call themselves, when they
advocate commercial union, they are
on the right track. Discussion begete
sentiment, and the belief that men and
nations should trade where they please
Is growing rapidly Bee.

LET EVERY FARMER READ.
Foraker Wants You to Pay More
Taxes.

Governor Foraker, Republican Candidate
for reelection in Ohio this fall, had this to
say in bis special message to the Legislature
with reference to the valuation of real estate:
It is obvious that so long as the present
valuation of real estate stands, great injustice
will be done to all whose property is even ap-
proximately correctly valued, and the State
will contiue unable to meet the public de-
mands without embarrassment.
IL Is recommended, therefore, that rerat-
uation be had at once instead of waiting for
the next decennial valuation in 1880. In
order that this may be done in such way as
to secure a full and fair appraisement, 1t is
recommended that there be constituted a
STATE RoARD OF EQUALIZATION,
consisting of eight members, not more than
four of whom shall be of the same political
party, to be appointed by some suitable
authority from the electors of the State to
hold their Office for fixed term, and whose
duty it will be to supervise, as well as revise
and equalize the valuations to be made. The
number mentioned is thought to be large
enough to enable each of the leading indus
tries of the State to be represented, and at
the same time not too large for efficient ac-
tion.
1t is also thought that men so selected will
have the interests of the whole State more in
mind, than if they should be elected to re-
present some particular district or locality,
in which case experience has shown they are
too apt to act as though their highest duty
was to secure the lowest possible valuation
for their respective constituencies.
You will see by the above that Foraker
wants the tax valuation of real estate made
at once and wants it raised. This he does
not propose to have done by appraisers ap-
pointed. He wants only eight persons to
have hand in the matter. What do the
farmers think of this? How would the
farmers of Henry county like to have man
at Columbus put valuation on their farmsp
In order to lot our farmer readers have an
idea of the amount Foraker would raise their
lands, we copy another clause in the same
message:
"The valuation of real estate rarely exceeds
rs per cent. and ranges downward from that
point as low as % per cent of its true value. "
It will be seen by the above that Foraker
would have the valuation of your farms in
creased three fold in some instances and not
less than thirty-three and one-third per cent.
at the very best. 1t will take an average of
doubling the valuation. The farmers land
which is now valued at $40 per acre for taxa
tion would be raised to eighty dollars per
acre, and, other valuations remaining the
same, the farmers tax would be doubled. II
is time for the farmers to wake up, and
without regard to party, vote against Fora
ker.

The Scientific A,1tericdn advances the
following important information to
those who desire to get rid Of stumps
on their farms: SIN autumn or early
winter bore a hole one or two inches in
diameter, according to the girth OF the
stump, and about eighteen inches deep.
Put into 1t one or two ounces of salt
peter, fill the hole with water and plug
1t close. In the ensuing spring take out
the plug and pour in about one gill Of
kerosene oil and ignite 1t. The stump
will smoulderaway without blazing to
the very extremity Of the ts,leaving
nothingbut ashes.p

people believe that the Foraker message the
Democrats are distributing is forgery
Those who doubt its genuiness can COM

Senate journal, copy of which can be found
in the County Auditors Office. The message
is the same, word for word, and the fact that
Foraker recommended a reyaluation Of farm
lands cannot be gainsaid.
